The Ray Lewis thing doesn't bother me as much as it does a lot of other people. He is one of the best defensive football players to ever play the game. I do think some people gloss over the murder incident, but I have seen it acknowledged as well.

The Super Bowl is always going to have over-hyped stories. If Ray Lewis weren't retiring it would be something else. The media will manufacture something to talk about non-stop for the next two weeks, and I'd honestly just as soon hear about Ray Lewis or the Harbaugh brothers as I would more about Manti Teo or Lance Armstrong.

Oh I don't dispute Lewis ability to play the game. You have to blind not to see that he deserves to be listed in the same company as Butkus, SIngletary and Lanier if not above them. But to me personally he is a punk and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he suffers from mental illness of the sociopath-ic type.

Like I mentioned, if I can chose my hype intake, it will be the Harbaugh Brothers. I saw an interview with them and their Dad probably before they played against each other last year. You would be hard pressed to dislike anything about these guys... Unless you really have something against overly aggressive handshakes.

Listening to the guys that played with him, he was pretty much one of the best (if not the best) to ever play.

why don't you run back to the sandbox where the rest of the kids are playing so the adults can have a discussion...it's over there....you see Howie, he's over there with PMS knocking over other kids sandcastles...looks like fun.
